I'm not sure why people were wow'd by Melania's speech. She did a fine job, but nothing exceptional in my honest opinion.

The person who really got me was Rudy Giuliani! I don't share his enthusiasm for Donald Trump, but his message was clear and powerful! He was able to articulate what he thinks and how he feels without being rude or acting like an angry child. He had sustenance to his speech instead of poisonous venom. He got it spot on when talking about the brave men and women in blue. The best speech I've heard so far this convention, hands down.

I am appalled at the criticism of Melania Trump's speech, especially accusing her of plagiarizing Michelle Obama's speech. The words that she is being accused of plagiarizing were taken from the words of my great grandmother's lips (probably her mother's) when my grandmother was growing up, and passed down to every generation since. How low will the press stoop to criticize honorable people.

I noticed that the major networks devoted very little time to the convention, and most of that time was negative. I wonder if they will continue to carry the same level of coverage forward to the Democratic Convention.

I feel the same way Billy. These so called 'reporters' could take a girl scout selling their yummy cookies door to door and turn it into a pyramid scheme with aliens at the center

talk about a cheap shot

I'm also loosing respect for Krauthammer pretty fast too

it's not about predictions a la old time pro-politician. they need to look outside and stop the navel gazing IMO

5000 years ago Moses said, "Pack up you camel, pick up your shovel, mount
your ass, and I will lead you to the promised land."
5000 years later, F. D. Roosevelt said, " Lay down your shovel, sit on your
ass and light up a camel, America is the promised land."
Today, the president will tax your shovel, sell your camel, kick your ass,
hand you a sign and a tin cup, and tell you that there ain't no promise land.

She prayed to her demons how great is that. No blessing from God at this convention

if yesterday was a travesty then today was even worse...there was overt vote stealing during the roll call for nominating trump...

cruz won iowa...and eight delegates were bound to him...trump came in second and only seven delegates were bound to him...
at the convention the chair recorded all thirty iowa delegates for trump...

cruz also won alaska and twelve delegates were bound to him there...trump came in second and just eleven delegates were bound to him...
at the convention the chair recorded all twenty-eight alaska delegates for trump...
the head of alaska's delegation even tried to protest this...but he was not allowed to speak...

cruz won oklahoma and fifteen delegates were bound to him...trump came in second and fourteen delegates were bound to him...
at the convention the chair recorded twenty-four delegates for trump and only nineteen for cruz...

cruz won utah in a landslide and all forty delegates were bound to him...trump got -zero-...
at the convention the chair recorded all forty utah delegates for trump...

rubio won the district of columbia...kasich came in second...and trump was a distant third...rubio was allocated ten delegates and kasich was allocated nine...trump was allocated -zero-...
at the convention the DC delegation's count was flatly ignored and the chair recorded all nineteen delegates for trump...

so much for the voice of the people...if you lived in iowa or alaska or oklahoma or utah or washington DC then your vote just plain -didn't count-

this was done by the party bosses in violation of the new rules that explicitly bind delegates to the outcomes of their state primaries...the ones they themselves rammed through just yesterday!

why did they do it? they didn't need to...they had enough -real- bound trump delegates to nominate him -anyway-...

so why did they do it? simply because -they could-...and because trump's people seem to relish poking the 55% in the eye while calling for 'unity' out of the other side of their mouths...

this is what flagrant abuse of power looks like...and this is why the republican party is no longer fit to govern this nation...

well trump is a 'baby christian' so we're told...we're supposed to excuse things like arranging for prayers to false deities...

and i've been saying for months that God's blessing isn't on this thing...

since trump beat cruz why couldn't he and his RNC cronies have just crossed the finish line fairly?

this is gratuitous cheating by the acknowledged winner...it doesn't make sense...

...except in the context of trump's particular approach to 'deal making'...as described by a quotation from a manhattan developer who knew him...

"Trump won't do a deal unless there's something extra--a kind of moral larceny--in it. He's not satisfied with a profit. He has to take something more. Otherwise, there's no thrill."

trump isn't excited about a 'deal' unless someone gets cheated...today his love of ripping people off was put on full display when he ripped off voters in four states and the national capital...

we can't vote to put someone who gets a thrill out of ripping people off in our country's highest office...vote for trump and you'll be only the next in his long history of scams...

Chris Christie delivered the best speech tonight, followed by Donald Trump Jr.

Chris Christie made the biggest case for Trump tonight by making a fantastic case against Hillary.

Donald Trump Jr. seems so much more believable and authentic than his father. His speech gives me hope that in the event Trump is elected president, he will "make America great again." The best evidence Trump can tout about his legacy isn't Trump tower, it's his oldest son (his children in general). He should have been brought out during the campaign a lot sooner. I actually look forward to hearing more from Jr in the future.

Even if she did plagiarize, the left is being hypocritical as their candidates including clinton and obama have stolen material from other candidates even to the present day 2016 from bernie sanders....


Here is an excellent article from breitbart that shows the various examples of their hypocrisy in calling out others when they themselves do the same thing....
